Aptera has introduced an interesting solar-powered electric vehicle with a range of 1,600 kilometers. It is an Aptera 3, an electric three-wheeler with an elegant design.

The vehicle has a lightweight construction and an incredibly low air resistance of just 0.13. It uses only 100 Wh of energy per 1.6 kilometers.

The Aptera 3 has a 100 kWh battery that allows a range of up to 1,600 km on a single charge. Solar panels on the roof can add 64 km of range during a sunny day. The installation of additional solar panels allows the vehicle to cover an additional 38.8 km. The Aptera 3 with the largest battery of 100 kWh weighs less than 1,000 kg. The battery is compatible with a DC charger, an hour of charging is enough for more than 800 km range.

According to the company, the Aptera Never Charge is designed to collect enough energy from the panels to cover more than 17,700 kilometers a year. No mass-produced electric vehicle has a range of more than 800 kilometers. Solar panels produce enough energy for a daily drive of more than 64 kilometers.

The Aptera 3 will also be available with a 25 kWh battery sufficient for a range of 402 km. There will also be a model with a 40 kWh battery and a range of 644 km, as well as a model that will power a 60 kWh battery and provide a range of 966 km.

Also, there will be different types of engines on offer. So far, engine power has not been revealed, but it is known that models with front-wheel drive will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds, and on all three wheels in 3.5 seconds.

All 330 cars were sold out in 24 hours at a price of $ 26,000. And deliveries should start next year.
